Florida Electrocution Accident Lawyer: Best Electric Shock Attorneys

How Our Florida Electrocution Accident Lawyers Can Help You

When an electric shock has caused you to suffer injuries, pain and suffering – or caused the death of a loved one in Florida – an electrocution accident lawyer can help you hold the responsible parties accountable and recover the compensation and money damages you’re entitled to.

Under state law, you may be able to recover compensation for your pain and suffering and money damages to cover your medical bills as well as earnings and wages that you’ve lost because your injuries have prevented you from working. You may even be able to recover punitive damages.

In Florida, an experienced electrocution accident lawyer who specializes exclusively in this area of the law will protect your legal rights, fight to ensure you get the best possible settlement in your case, and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you by trying to get your case dismissed or pressuring you into accepting a low-ball settlement offer that doesn’t begin to reflect the true value of your case.

Electrocution and electric shock cases involve a very specialized area of law. Only a few lawyers in the entire country have handled more than one of these cases in their careers. Most personal injury lawyers and law firms in New Mexico have never worked on an electrocution case. Jeffrey Feldman and Chris Stombaugh are different. Jeff has handled more electrocution and electric shock cases nationwide, including in New Mexico, than almost any other lawyer in the country during his 35 years of practice. Chris is known as one of the top trial lawyers in the United States. Electrocuted.com is the only law firm in the country that focuses only on electrocution, electric shock injuries, and wrongful death. Lawyers across the country refer these cases to Jeff and Chris because of their rare experience and strong record of success.

  • Jeff was so compassionate toward me and my husband at the time, and pretty much anybody involved. He just had a way of making you feel comfortable with him. We just really struck up a rapport with him, and it was genuine. He was genuinely concerned about this happening and felt that he needed to fight for us.

    - Loretta Balotta, Former Client

  • Electrocution cases are a niche. Defense experts for utility companies are the best in the U.S. and it takes an expert to fare against their seemingly unlimited resources and power. The cases are so labor intensive and require you to work around the clock, as the defense team can be up to six or seven attorneys. Jeff brings the intensity those cases require.

    - Rick Arcaro, Attorney

  • I met Jeff about 40 years ago and during that period of time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with him on cases, so I’ve had the opportunity to see how he works. He’s very, very specific in what he does. He’s very good at what he does. He delves into all the medical and all the liability issues. He’s somebody that I believe personally is one of the smartest, most conscientious attorneys in the State of Michigan.

    - Leonard Koltonow, Attorney

Types of Compensation Available For Injuries

Our electrocution accident lawyers that handle cases in Florida know the different types of compensation and damages that you may be entitled to after an electrical injury are:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Past and future medical expenses (which includes hospitalizations, surgeries, procedures, rehabilitation, physical therapy, prescription medications, and transportation costs for medical appointments)
  • Past and future lost earnings and wages
  • Punitive damages (where the responsible parties engaged in intentional conduct or gross negligence)

What Are The Elements of An Electrical Injury Case

Our electrocution accident lawyers that handle cases in Florida know the different types of compensation and damages that you may be entitled to after an electrical injury are:

  • The defendant owed you a duty of care to take reasonable actions to prevent the type of injury you suffered
  • The defendant breached that duty by failing to take reasonable actions to prevent injuries like yours
  • The defendant’s breach of duty caused your injury
  • You endured pain and suffering and suffered other noneconomic damages as well as economic damages such as medical expenses and lost wages

The state’s Supreme Court landmark ruling in McCain v. Florida Power Corporation lays out the framework for determining when a duty of care is owed in a negligence case:

  • “Where a defendant’s conduct creates a foreseeable zone of risk, the law generally will recognize a duty placed upon [the] defendant either to lessen the risk or see that sufficient precautions are taken to protect others from the harm that the risk poses. . . . Thus, as the risk grows greater, so does the duty, because the risk to be perceived defines the duty that must be undertaken.”

Why Are Electrical Incidents So Dangerous?

Our electrocution accident lawyers know that tragic incidents with electricity in Florida are so dangerous because they can easily kill a person or leave the person with lifelong, permanent disabilities and disabling injuries. Contact with an electrical source can stop a person’s heart, damage their brain, affect their breathing, or damage internal organs.

The factors that affect the dangerousness of an electric shock include: (1) the electric current’s amperage, (2) the path that electricity took as it passed through a person’s body; and (3) the amount of time that a person is exposed to or made contact with the source of electricity.

Why Do I Need An Electrocution Accident Lawyer For A Case In Florida?

In Florida, you need a electrocution accident lawyer because far too often the utility and power companies will initially aggressively fight and defend these cases. This is intentional and is used by negligent parties to try to intimidate or harass attorneys who are not as experienced and skilled in electrical injury and electrical death cases to settle for less than the case is truly worth.

Getting full and fair compensation for your pain and suffering and money damages to pay your bills and reimburse you for lost wages and future lost earnings – i.e., to save you from financial ruin as well as the deterioration of your health – is essential for you and your family if you’ve been the victim of an electrical shock injury.

The best and only way to get the settlement you deserve in your Florida case is with an experienced electrocution accident lawyer in your corner.

An experienced electrical injury attorney can:

  • Determine all of the responsible parties and determine the full insurance policy limits and  financial assets of all responsible parties.
  • Investigate and identify all of the violations of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) and the National Electrical Code (NEC)
  • Hire the nation’s top experts to prove your case  – These experts will likely include: (1) power infrastructure expert, (2) electrical engineering expert, (3) mechanical engineering expert, (4) reliability engineer, (7) experts on the National Electric Safety Code and the National Electrical Code, (8) an economist, and (9) medical experts to address injuries, surgeries, and present and future medical needs
  • Negotiate the best possible settlement with responsible parties.
  • Take your case to a jury trial if the responsible parties refuse to agree to a fair settlement that reflects the true settlement value of your case

How Do I Choose The Best Electrocution Accident Lawyer For My Case In Florida?

The best electrocution accident lawyer for your case in Florida will have the following qualities:

  • Experience – Make sure your attorney has real and extensive experience handling cases like yours. Actually having experience and pretending to have experience – as some attorneys do in their advertisements and commercials – are not the same thing. Don’t find out the hard way.
  • Specialization – The only thing better than an electrical injury attorney with experience is an attorney who specializes exclusively in this area of the law. You want an attorney who can honestly say “This is all I do” rather than a general practice personal injury who can only say “This is one of many practice areas I try to juggle.”
  • Track record of success – Does your attorney have a proven track record of winning these cases?
  • Reputation for results in electrical injury and electrical death cases  – Even though few people may think to ask about it, results may be the most important quality your attorney needs to have. Why? Because the power and utility companies defend these cases largely based on who your attorney is. Attorneys who advertise for dozens of completely unrelated areas of law that might include a page on electrical cases on a website, but who have never actually litigated these very specialized cases, tend to face much more aggressive tactics by the power and utility company attorneys, who try to make these cases as long and as expensive as possible. Attorneys with a track record of success in handling electrical death and electric shock injury cases tend to settle these cases for significantly more money and often much faster than attorneys who do not.

How Much Does An Electrocution Accident Lawyer Cost In Florida?

You can hire one of our experienced electrocution accident lawyers for no money down and no payments unless and until we win your Florida case. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we don’t collect our fee or require repayment of litigation costs until after your case is done and we have recovered a winning settlement or verdict.

In other words, if we don’t win your case for you, then you don’t pay our fee and you don’t have to repay us for our case costs.

Our contingency fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict amount that we recover for you. Under the state’s Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 4-1.5(f)(4)(B)(i), the contingency fee percentages vary based on when your case is concluded either with a settlement or trial verdict.

For Florida cases that resolve early in the litigation process, the electrocution accident lawyer contingency fee will be:

  • 33 1/3% of any recovery up to $1 million; plus
  • 30% of any portion of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million; plus
  • 20% of any portion of the recovery exceeding $2 million.

For Florida cases that resolve later in the process or even after trial, the electrocution accident lawyer contingency fee will be:

  • 40% of any recovery up to $1 million; plus
  • 30% of any portion of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million; plus
  • 20% of any portion of the recovery exceeding $2 million.

For Florida cases where all of the defendants admit liability and the case goes to trial only on the issue of damages the electrocution accident lawyer contingency fee will be:

  • 33 1/3% of any recovery up to $1 million; plus
  • 20% of any portion of the recovery between $1 million and $2 million
  • 15% of any portion of the recovery exceeding $2 million.

Litigation and case costs may include the following expenses:

  • Filing fees
  • Court costs
  • Expert witness fees
  • Investigator fees
  • Costs for filing and serving the complaint and subpoenas
  • Deposition costs
  • Medical record fees
  • Copying costs
  • Printing costs
  • Mailing costs

How Long Does a Settlement Take?

Cases can get settled in a matter of months, if a lawsuit doesn’t need to be filed. However, once a lawsuit is filed, it may take away from 1 to 2 years to reach a settlement depending on where your electrical injury or death occurred and how crowded the court dockets are in that county. That said, there are many factors that influence the timing of a settlement. They typically include:

  • The injuries involved
  • The prognosis and recommended treatment for recovery
  • Medical care and treatment that will be needed
  • Work disability (both present and future)
  • The track record of success and reputation of your attorney
  • The responsible parties’ insurance policy limits
  • The insurance companies involved
  • The defense attorney
  • The court where the lawsuit is filed
  • The judge who is assigned to hear the case
  • Time to file and serve the complaint
  • Any delays in serving the responsible parties with the complaint
  • Depositions of the parties, witnesses and experts
  • Dispute resolution processes such as mediation and facilitation
  • Settlement negotiations
